I had been irrational throughout the day but Ive calmed down enough to put together some rational thoughts.
I wasn't sold on Golden before the season, before the bowl loss, after the loss, or after this PSU episode. I would like to see Golden make the tough decisions it takes to succeed on the national level. Paul Johnson fired Al Groh in the middle of the season to salvage his defense. Nigel Bethel said he wanted to see an aggressive scheme and the coaches essentially said it would get more aggressive when they got better players from this recruiting class. If I'm a current player on the defense I would feel slighted because every week we lose our DC says we lost because of our mental errors and our defensive coordinator never takes the blame off of us by saying I should have come in with a different gameplan or I didn't do enough to put our player in position to win the game. I'm a true fan I wouldn't care if Golden stays or goes. I just want the team to win some ACC championships and some BCS and national title games. I don't think Dabo Swinney is a better coach than Golden but I think he was smart enough to hire Chad Morris and that turned them from an average team to 2 BCS bowls and beating LSU last year in the Chick-Fil-A bowl.
